It won't. The Apple USB Superdrive is made only to work with those current Apple Computer offerings that do not already have an optical drive installed.

It will not be recognized by any mac that does have an optical drive installed- i.e.: the MacBook Pro withOUT Retina Display. But it IS made to be used with the new iMacs, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro W/Retina Display, etc.
